How to remove instruments from external view?

[Boeing_Driver 76]

There must be an easy shortcut, but I'm unaware of what it is. Does anyone know how to eliminate the instruments that appear when viewing the aircraft from the outside?

mine do not and I do not have a mod that does that.  so I am thinking there must be a toggle somewhere in the menu systems.

try: General Options > Camera > Chase Camera > Instrument Heads-Up Display (HUD) set to OFF

You can also make the cockpit disappear when in normal cockpit mode.

WOW! Thank you. I've been asking people how I do do this and I got no answer and now I finally got it done. 🙂

Thanks Mike!

There is a great little ui mod that toggles them on and off by pressing the numlock key.  I just can't find the download link at the moment.

This is a link to a number of excellent little mods which includes tinyhud that will remove the hud using NumLock or Backspace.

Great. Thanks will check it. But wish that Adobo lets me assign a shortcut to toggle the external instruments view, even better lets me select the ones I want to see. The default is fully overloaded, airspeed and altitude would be sufficient in most cases for me eg during approach

One option is to hold the RH alt key and then click on a glass display showing altitude and airspeed to get an undocked version of the glass display and then move the undocked glass display to another screen.  That undocked window should stay open even when you switch to an external view.

I've been wanting to shut this off for awhile but never got around to doing it.  Thanks!

So it appears that this is no longer an option....Does anyone know the current method to eliminate the instruments from the external view?

Hi!

I confirm, it does not seem to be an option anymore.

Any idea for a mod ?

 

Thanks
